You guys might not know this but since starting the gym I have been OBSESSED with gym wear.
I mean what can I say, it's all so comfortable to war & very flattering on the body!
So here is a little wishlist of gym wear items I'd love!
Ryderwear D-Maks Raw Grey lifting shoes.
I have mixed feelings about training shoes, however I do lift some serious weight so I don't see why I shouldn't have a pair really! These ones by Ryderwear are pretty affordable & nice to look at! They have good selection of colours but I felt the grey were the most wearable.
Gymversus Black Airtex vest.
You can never have too many vests, right? This one by Gymversus is particularly cool as it somewhat see through. So if you have a cool sports bra you want to show off without going topless it's perfect.
ICanIWill Comfy V2 Tights.
Ok so I am a legging addict! These legging just look amazing don't they! Nice grey leggings are really hard to find, but these look like they are spot on. I love the piping detail too!
Gymversus Lightweight Stretch Bottoms.
I don't really wear joggers much ever, however it is starting to get a little too cold even for leggings. I like the slim fit of these ones & how simple the design is.
ICanIWill Perform Tights in Khaki.
Khaki is huge this year & it's awesome to see it's starting to get into the gym wear market too! I think it's a really flattering colour on most people. I also like to black panel design on these.
Nike Elastika Tank Top.
I've seen a lot of these vest with the strip back, however a lot of them just don't look very nice. This one by Nike actually looks really nice. Simple colours & a thin strip down the back. This sort of vest is great to show off your back!
I feel like it's about time I did a bit of a life update, because a lot of things have changed over the last 6 months.
So first things first, my health has started to improve massively!
This is because we actually found out what it was that was making me ill... stress.
So the long & short of it is that I have removed some of the really stressful things from my life. I have also started having some CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy).
Another part of my life that has changed is my relationship status. Now if you've been here awhile you'll know that I did have a boyfriend, however that relationship ended back in February.
I since have met someone else.
This someone else is Liam & well we just love each other so much!
We are planning to do some youtube videos together, so sit tight you'll get to meet him properly soon.
Even though we haven't been together that long we already live together, have been on holiday & now have a puppy! What can I say you just know sometimes :)
Above is a photo of us in Rome!
Now onto the gym/ fitness side of things.
I have been religiously going to the gym now since February and it has been great! It is perfect to help me de-stress & focus my thoughts/ feelings. I don't have a strict goal yet, but I think if I do decide to compete in anything it would be powerlifting, heavy weights are fun!
I've seen a lot of physical changes because of my training including weight lose, more muscle definition, more energy & more motivation.
As you guys might know if you've been following me on various social media I have got very into fitness recently. I have been hitting the gym at least 5 times a week since February!
So I wanted to start getting into the whole supplement thing a bit, but it's such a huge market, where do you start??
So I decided a good way to test out products is a subscription box.
I noticed this company kept popping up on my Facebook so I decided to look into them, they're called Muscle Crate.
I did actually contact them regarding my gluten intolerance & they were very good about it saying they'd make a notice on my subscription. I have received one product, but really I'm not that fussed.
The box pictured below is April's box (sorry this blog post is a little late).
As you can see the box is FULL of supplement samples from capsules to pre workouts.
I honestly feel like if you're looking to just try a lot of different flavours & products is short period, this box is definitely the way forward. I also gave my boyfriend a few of the samples to try if there were duplicates. Sometimes there are but I see that as no bad thing, especially if you're like me & like to share it out a bit.
I have now used this whole box, but it did take me a month to do so! Which is ideal because by that time the next one is on it's way!
I would also like to note that the brands provided in the box are all good quality brands which I have heard of before. They really have put some hard work in to connecting & working with some of the best/ well known nutrition companies in the world.
It is still early days for the company, however I can definitely see this working.
So if you are just getting into fitness & want to try a few new things give this box a go.
You don't have to seriously commit either as they have a 1 month rolling contract available.
'The gym bunny, is female creature that inhabits only gyms & lives in activewear.'
They are a creature I admire, primarily for their commitment!
Fitness is still a massive lifestyle trend, for women more so than ever before.
A while ago (approximately 2 years) I was one of these 'gym bunnies', I used to work out every day without fail & had better abs than most men!
However as our lives change over time how sustainable is this lifestyle trend?
By no means am I saying don't exercise, because the benefits can be amazing (when done properly & affectively). However I just find these days that I don't have the time to commit to the gym everyday.
In fact I don't really want to look quite as athletic as I used to want to.
However I do still have so much respect for anyone who achieves their body goals.
I personally feel for me a balance of work, fitness & fun is the lifestyle that suits me & my needs.
I still think fitness is super important, however at the moment some health issues I'm dealing with need sorting befire I set any intense work out schedules.
How do you guys feel about this trend?
Are you into it or do you feel like it adds to the many pressures women face today?
